The 7I61 is a USB interfaced version of Mesa's FPGA based Anything I/O card series. It provides 96 I/O bits of easy to access programmable user I/O.

The USB port is used for downloading initial configurations either directly to the FPGA or to the on-card Flash EEPROM for stand-alone FPGA configuration. After configuration, the high speed USB port can be used for 7I61 host communication. The 96 I/O bits are available on four 50 pin connectors, 24 bits per connector. The 50 pin connectors have I/O module rack compatible pinouts. All I/O pins have pull-up resistors and are 5 V tolerant.

Several I/O interface daughter cards are available for the 7I61. The daughter cards include 4, 6 , and 8 channel analog servo amp. interfaces, 6 channel resolver interface, RS-422/485 interfaces. 2 daughter cards can plug directly onto the 7I61, and a maximum of 4 daughter cards per 7I61 are supported.

Many IO configuration files are provided with the 7I61 including simple remote I/O, smart remote I/O, 4 to 16 axis servo motion control, 4 to 48 axis stepper motor control, multiple channel PWM generator, arbitrary waveform generation, quadrature counters, resolver interface, mutliple timers and more. VHDL source is provided for all configurations.

Poll of the Week

Are your industrial networks well defended against cyber attacks?
Like Fort Knox. Solid defense in depth.
Well defended, I think, but not positive.
Working on it, but not there yet.
Few defenses, but who would find us?
We’re wide open, living on borrowed time.
